Learn the soothing art of needle felting and make your very own saguaro cactus

Looking for a soothing activity or a new hobby? Want a houseplant without the hassle of actually keeping it alive? Felted cacti can survive in even the most inhospitable climates and look really cute on your desk.

In this two-hour class, you’ll learn the basics of how to create felted structures all while creating your very own needle-felted saguaro cactus. Needle felting is an easy and often relaxing way to create 3D sculptures out of wool.  

Here's how it works:

  • This workshop is limited to 10 students.

  • This class will be taught virtually via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom info after you register.

  • We will mail students a kit with all the materials you need to participate, including a felting pad, needles, wool, and a terracotta pot.

  • If you already have the foam pad and needles from one of our workshops, you can opt to just receive just the wool.

  • You must register by January 22 to ensure your kit arrives in time.

  • Students will receive a link to an instructional video after the class.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is the event family-friendly?

Yes! We've had kids as young as 8 in our felting classes. That said, this activity uses sharp needles so we recommend that kids are supervised at all times to avoid injury.

2. When will I receive my materials?

We ship all kits using USPS Priority Mail. They typically ship one week before the class and arrive within 1-3 business days. If you are located outside the DMV, we recommend registering ASAP so we can mail your materials earlier.
